Life’s a bit of a prankster, isn’t it? It loves to serve up irony when we least expect it, leaving us blushing and laughing at the sheer absurdity of it all. In this collection of stories, we’re going to dive into these moments where people got caught up in ironic situations that had them turning all shades of red.
“Asked for a fade and got this.”
When I was 11, I stepped in dog poop in my backyard. As I was running toward the hose to wash my foot off, a bird pooped on my head. I started crying as I reached for the hose and then felt a searing pain throughout my dirty foot. I had stepped into a fire ant colony. Then I had to clean up and get dressed for my grandpa’s funeral. © inward_privilege / Reddit
“Last week we took my 1.5-year-old Saint Bernard in for a standard spay and preventative gastropexy (stomach staple). All was well until yesterday when we noticed substantial swelling in her abdomen. Took her to the emergency vet ASAP.
They placed a drain to get rid of the fluid that had built up. The vet took an X-ray to make sure the drain was in place and discovered this! My girl is expected to heal up just fine. I had a very stern phone call with the vet who did the original surgery about reimbursement for this…”
I was tired and distracted at work. My boss comes over with a new colleague. “This is MediumPanda, this is the new guy Jack.” I get up and splash coffee all over the guy — I had forgotten I had a cup in my right hand when I was trying to shake hands. © TheMediumPanda / RedditMy wife and I were doing grocery shopping. I got out of the car and started walking to the store. She came around the car and started walking beside me. I took a step closer to her and held her hand. It took me about 5 steps before I realized her hand looked funny. I looked at her, and she wasn’t there.
I was holding the hand of another man whom I had never seen in my life. It was obvious that he had no idea what to do with this, and neither did I. I just said, “Sorry,” let go of his hand, and walked slowly so that he got ahead of me. It was late at night, so there was only one till open. We ended up waiting in line together. © aardvarkious / Reddit
“Me posing with my sister’s car vs one day later”
If you ever feel embarrassed, please remember that I once commented on a girl’s engagement photo and said, “You and your dad look adorable!” but it was her new fiancé. © shayadzohair / TwitterWife and I met her friend for lunch one day — I bent over to give her friend’s baby a peck on the cheek but didn’t see she was breastfeeding until it was too late. It wasn’t her baby I kissed. ©kippaxireland / Twitter
“It finally happened to me.”
My wife says she once ate pizza at a friend’s house and, out of habit, threw the crust on the floor for the dog. Those friends didn’t have a dog. © Catsrecliner1 / RedditStarted unbuttoning and unzipping my trousers while I walked toward the toilet, just like I do at home because I’m efficient like that. Except I was at work and was walking through the shared office. © LadyGruntfuttock / RedditI was getting out of my car and went to take a sip of my iced coffee. Unfortunately, I put the end of my car key in my mouth instead. © Ren_13 / Reddit
